"Oww..." He mutters, his jaw slacked open and in pain. "You inquired to how I knew the place... I showed you. That's asking." He rubs his jaw. "Got quite a swing there. Won't say to another 'you punch like a girl', thats for certain. And what's with this 'trust' issue? What makes her so special? Tell me that before you slug me again."

(OOC: Ooo a lot of character development here. Curses! I have to go to work! Anyway, Ierys don't worry too much. You can't get too deep into that thread without running into all the drama that was happening with Natalia back then)

Clive ponders for a moment. "Could of sworn... if that little squirt hadn't interrupted. Threw off my whole thought process. Well fine, if you're so upset, then I'll leave you be. I'm going to get something eat."
All Ierys's hears as Clive walks off in the other direction is a low muttering and the tapping of the staff against the floor with each step.

::Ierys stopped, but she couldnt bring herself to watch him go. A light breeze swept her hair out of her eyes and made her shiver.::
"Im so sorry."
::She said it quietly barely a whisper, quickly washed away in the wind. Ierys moved to the side and lent against a wall.::
I mess everything up...Papa....What do I do?
::She let herself slide down the wall intil she was hugging her knees, her head hanging low and her eyes closed.::
Idiot..
::She sprang to her feet and started running. She ran in circles everywhere her feet would take her. Running helped, it focused her mind. Made her forget. She was speeding past corners and people,gaining speed, her feet pounding on the ground the flew beneath her. Her eyes barely registered as she dashed past Clive and round another corner. She just needed the movement::

::About the twentieth time Ierys rounds the corner, she falls flat on her back. When her vision isn't blurry anymore, she looks up to see Lillith holding her stomach::
Ouch. Are you alright?
::She helps Ierys back to her feet::
I've been looking everywhere for you. It's time for dinner, and I'd like for you to meet my husband... are you alright?
::She holds a hand to Ierys' face and wipes something away. It's the first time Ierys notices that she's been crying::
What's the matter?

-Meanwhile-
Clive has wandered himself into the dorm hall, where the kids sleep. Kids run by him and he cringes when the brush near him, looking disgusted by their dirty, germy hands. "Hey!" He calls to some as they run past. "Where is there someplace to eat around here!?" They ignore him. "Hey! Don't-" He growls as another kid runs past. "Stop!" They too ignore him and run off.
With a humph he carries on to another part of the school in hopes of finding food.

??: Down the stairs and keep going all the way to the back of the manor.
::Clive turns to see two of the older students making their way towards him. One is a boy about sixteen with shaggy blond hair and blue eyes with a smattering of freckles across his nose, and the other is a girl with curly brown hair and green eyes. Apparently she was the one who had given him the directions::
??: My name's Serena, and this is Garret. You must be the new guy Simon was telling us about. Nothing goes on here without that kid rushing off to tell everyone about it.

"Wow, so there's students here who aren't under the age of seven. I was beginning to get worried."
Clive states after turning around, crossing his arms around his staff and standing lazily. "So... what exactly is this place now? I get a school and all but last time I walked around here it had that certain je ne sais quois. No one has told me what this is all about yet."

Garret: The last time you were here?
Serena: You mean when Natalia occupied it? That's incredible! So you probably knew the headmistress back then! What was it like back then?

Clive rolls his eyes and sighs, knowing this couldn't end well. "I didn't stay long... and no, I never met her personally. Did meet this big brutish woman." He thinks for a moment. "Kinda looked like a cross between a body builder and Big-Foot, but hairier. Then after that, I kinda was pushed out a window, so like I said, brief."

::Serena and Garret start circling him, looking him over::
Serena: So what are you doing back here? Don't tell me you're planning on going to school here.
Garret: This started as a school for Sorceresses, but Headmistress Lillith takes in all kinds now, mostly orphans or... troubled kids.
Serena: Especially if they're gifted. So which are you? Orphan? Gifted? Troubled? Troubled gifted orphan?

"Ok, you're starting to creep me out a little. Stop with the circling." He side-steps out of their little circling maneuver. He grabs Serena by the shoulders and stops her where she stand, then does the same to Garret. "There, stay. Good lads." He sighs to himself. "And I am nothing, just myself. Clive is Clive, that's all there is to me. I especially don't have any plans to go to school here, not like any school could keep me contained. Been kicked out of enough of them to realize that! Hah, I'm a teachers nightmare and a Headmasters bane."

::Serena giggles in a way that seems to girlish for her age::
Serena: Headmistress Lillith is different. She has more of a... first hand account to what a lot of us are going through. She's never thrown a student out.
Garret: And that's saying something. There have been times where she's wanted to beat me senseless, but she doesn't. I mean, don't get me wrong, she can be scary, but I can tell she really cares about all of us you know?

"Yeah? That's great for you both but she's already lightning bolted me earlier, I think we already got off on the wrong foot." He flips his icy-cap back slightly. "So what you two in here for?"

::Serena and Garret glance at each other::
Garret: Well... I'm actually from Lindblum. Lets just say my mom died awhile back, and my Dad's a remarried cop who's never home, and my stepmom his a little... inexperienced. But you've probably heard the same sad story. And Serena here, well I'll let her show you.
::Serena smiles and strides over to the window where a potted plant sits in the sunlight. It looks like a small bud that's barely reared its head out of the dirt. She holds her hand over it and flexes her fingers. Before Clive's eyes, the plant grows taller, reaching for the sift light that emits from her hand. Leaves sprout from its vine, and the bud opens into a vibrant healthy sunflower::
Serena: Pretty cool huh.

Clive nods as Garret. "Lindblum, same place I'm from. The Crest, but I left that place a long time ago." He then turns to watch as Serena performs her magic on the planet, he looks generally impressed. "EaT your heart out Miracle Grow; I've been around but I haven't seen that done before. I am, generally impressed, not something easy to do for a guy the likes of me." He states rather matter-a-factly.

Serena: Well you sound like you've been around the block a few times. You mentioned you've been kicked out of a few schools.
Garret: You're from the Crest? No way, my Dad's a Constable in their downtown offices! Or at least he was before all this stuff with the LPA started going down. Maybe you've heard of him. He was credited awhile ago for arresting The Autumn Harvester. Him and the Headmistress worked together on that one.

Clive first looks to Serena. "Yeah, mostly boarding schools for magically gifted kids. Never much cared for their strict policies and stupid, arbitrary rules. Also, hate getting up in the morning, that's the main reason I never tried to stay. Also the kids were tools..."
When Garret speaks, Clive just patently waits for him to finish. "Sorry, can't say as I have. Last time I was in Lindblum I was six or seven. Haven't even been paying attention to the news either, it all just gives me a headache to hear it. Beside, I've seen enough prime-time drama to get me through."

(OOC: You know the sad thing is so many of us are like Clive, all desensitized and struggling to care about the world anymore)
::Serena grins slyly::
Serena: Oh so you do have a talent. Well come on, show us.
Garret: Don't worry, things are pretty lax here. I mean you still have to get up, but it depends on how you schedule your classes.
